Bitcoin is approaching one of the most important Long Term Holder MVRV zones. The Long Term Holder MVRV is currently around 1.28, moving significantly closer to the historical stress zone for long term investors. This metric compares the market value of Bitcoin held by Long Term Holders with the average cost basis of those coins. When LTH MVRV falls below 1, Long Term Holders are, on average, holding Bitcoin at an unrealized loss. Historically, these conditions appeared around some of Bitcoin’s most important accumulation periods: 🔵 2012 🔵 2015 🔵 2018 and 2019 🔵 2022 Today, the metric stands at 1.28. This does not yet represent the extreme capitulation observed near previous major cycle bottoms. However, Bitcoin is moving closer to a region where historical risk and reward dynamics became increasingly asymmetric. A deeper price correction could push LTH MVRV closer to, or even below, 1 again. If that happens, the market would enter a zone historically associated much more with long term accumulation than distribution. Short term volatility can remain high. But from an on chain perspective, the Long Term Holder MVRV is becoming one of the most important Bitcoin metrics to watch over the coming months. LTH MVRV: 1.28 Alphractal.com

Bitcoin’s supply is getting older again. The HODL Waves are showing an important shift in market structure. Since the 2025 peak, the percentage of BTC held by younger cohorts has been declining, while older supply bands are gradually expanding. This means fewer coins are changing hands and more BTC is migrating into longer holding periods. Historically, this transition has often appeared during the later stages of major corrections and accumulation phases. There is another important detail. During euphoric periods, old coins tend to wake up, move on chain and progressively migrate into younger age bands as experienced holders distribute into new demand. We are now seeing the opposite process. Young supply is contracting. Older supply is rebuilding. Dormant Bitcoin is increasing again. This does not confirm the exact market bottom, but it suggests that the supply structure is gradually becoming healthier as speculative activity is removed from the market. The longer Bitcoin remains in this environment, the more supply can migrate from weak hands toward stronger holders. Price can remain bearish while the underlying supply structure quietly improves. That is exactly why HODL Waves are so valuable. Alphractal.com

Monero (XMR) has been rising over the past few days, and one of the main reasons was the large buildup of unliquidated short positions. More recently, major short liquidation pools were hit, signaling that many traders were caught on the wrong side of the market while betting against XMR. app.alphractal.com

Solana’s Open Interest is showing an important divergence. SOL Open Interest currently stands at approximately $4.04B, with an annual change of -$3.66B. This means USD denominated Open Interest has fallen by roughly 47.5% over the past year. But when we measure it in SOL, the picture changes completely. Open Interest is now around 52.87M SOL, with a positive annual change of +9.38M SOL, representing growth of approximately 21.6%. In other words, while the dollar value of open positions has fallen sharply, the amount of SOL represented in those positions has actually increased. This distinction matters. The decline in USD Open Interest has been amplified by SOL’s own price depreciation. At first glance, it may look like the market has gone through a major deleveraging event, but Coin denominated Open Interest shows that speculative exposure remains elevated. USD OI: $4.04B USD OI YoY: -$3.66B SOL OI: 52.87M SOL SOL OI YoY: +9.38M SOL Less dollar value, but more SOL exposure. This shows that leverage and positioning remain highly relevant for Solana, leaving the derivatives market with substantial fuel for future volatility. Open Interest alone does not tell us whether the next squeeze will hit Longs or Shorts, but it clearly shows that speculation in SOL has not disappeared with the price decline. Alphractal.com

It has now been 303 days since Bitcoin’s all-time high, and BTC continues to move through one of the longest drawdown periods of this cycle. Bitcoin is currently about 48.4% below its ATH, while the deepest drawdown of this cycle reached 53.1% on Day 267. Compared with previous major bear markets: 2017/18: 363 days, 83.4% drawdown 2021/22: 376 days, 75.7% drawdown 2013/15: 406 days, 85.3% drawdown In terms of time, the current market is already entering the same region where previous major bear cycles began to mature. But there is one important difference: the magnitude of the current drawdown is still significantly smaller. 303 days into the Bear Market. The question now is not only how much further Bitcoin can fall, but how much longer it will take for this structure to finally change. Alphractal.com

Is Bitcoin approaching a new accumulation zone? The LTH/STH SOPR Ratio compares the behavior of long term holders with that of short term holders. SOPR shows whether coins moved on the network are being sold at a profit or at a loss. When this ratio falls, it means the profitability advantage of long term holders is shrinking relative to short term market participants. Historically, the lowest levels of this metric appeared during periods of capitulation, redistribution, and major bottom formation, such as in 2015, 2019, and 2022. Right now, the indicator is once again in a depressed region and close to 1, showing that the profitability gap between LTHs and STHs has become highly compressed. This suggests that the market has already gone through a significant cleanup of excess leverage and speculation. However, the historical accumulation zone highlighted on the chart has not yet been fully confirmed. The current reading does not mean price cannot fall further. It shows that we are entering an increasingly important region to monitor for accumulation, capitulation, and potential bottom signals. The best opportunities rarely feel comfortable when they are happening. Track this metric and activate your alerts at app.alphractal.com.

Google searches for cryptocurrencies are starting to rise again. After a long period of declining public interest, the data is beginning to show renewed attention toward Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other major names in the market. We are still well below the levels of euphoria seen during previous major peaks, which makes this move even more interesting. Retail attention may be starting to return ahead of a broader market recovery. Google Trends doesn’t just show what people are searching for. It also helps us track when curiosity, interest, and speculation begin to return to the crypto market. Sentiment data is starting to shift. 👀 Alphractal.com

Bitcoin’s Adoption Score has remained at 1 for the past 15 days. This means Bitcoin’s network adoption is currently at a low level relative to its historical trend, reflecting weaker network activity and connectivity compared to more active periods. Moments like this are often observed near cycle bottoms, when investor participation is limited and bearish narratives tend to dominate market sentiment. The metric is based on the Metcalfe Ratio and its historical distribution: A score of 3 signals high adoption, above the 80th percentile. A score of 2 signals moderate adoption, between the historical median and the 80th percentile. A score of 1 signals low adoption, below the historical median. A similar pattern can also be observed in Dogecoin, Litecoin, and several other cryptocurrencies. In other words, the best accumulation opportunities often emerge when participation is low and most investors are no longer interested. app.alphractal.com

The Stocks Fear & Greed Index has fallen to 34, returning to the Fear zone. Risk appetite is weakening while uncertainty is rising across the stock market. Price remains elevated, but sentiment is becoming increasingly fragile app.alphractal.com

Bitcoin is approaching a historically important on-chain zone. The LTH/STH Realized Cap Ratio compares the Realized Cap held by Long-Term Holders with the capital held by Short-Term Holders. Historically, when this ratio moved above 4, Bitcoin was forming a major cycle bottom. The ratio has now reached 3.9, placing the market very close to that threshold once again. A rising ratio indicates that a larger share of Bitcoin’s realized capital is concentrated among Long-Term Holders, while Short-Term Holder participation becomes comparatively weaker. This structure is commonly associated with advanced accumulation phases, when speculative capital leaves the market and ownership shifts toward investors with stronger conviction. It does not confirm that the exact bottom is already in. However, it shows that Bitcoin is approaching a zone that previously appeared during major cycle-bottom formations. Capital is increasingly concentrated in stronger hands. Created with the Alphractal Workbench. Alphractal.com

The 180 day Long Term Holder Net Position Change has just reached approximately +2.65 million BTC, one of the highest accumulation levels in the metric’s entire history. However, this data must be interpreted carefully. It does not necessarily mean that Long Term Holders recently purchased 2.65 million BTC. Part of this increase occurs when previously dormant coins reach the required age to be classified as long term holdings. Even so, the structural signal remains highly relevant. More Bitcoin is maturing and remaining inactive than being spent by older investors. Historically, major positive waves have appeared during accumulation periods, after sharp corrections, or when more patient investors absorb the supply distributed across the market. While Bitcoin remains under pressure near $64,700, millions of BTC are moving into hands that appear less willing to sell. The market may remain volatile in the short term, but the supply structure is becoming increasingly constrained. Weak price action does not necessarily mean there is no accumulation. Sometimes, it means exactly the opposite. app.alphractal.com
